  • Macadamia nuts have a sweet taste and are a rich source of energy. 100 g of nuts provide about 718 calorie/100 g, which is one of the highest calorific values among nuts.
  • Macadamias are packed with numerous health-benefiting nutrients, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins that are essential for optimum health and wellness.
  • 100 g of macadamia provides 8.6 g or 23% of daily-recommended levels of dietary fiber. Macadamias are a very good source of phytosterols such as ß-sitosterol.Macadamias have no cholesterol.
  • Macadamias are a rich source of mono-unsaturated fatty (MUF) like oleic acid (18:1) and palmitoleic acids (16:1). Studies suggest that MUF fats in the diet help lower total as well as LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels in the blood.
